  • Spacious 18-foot yurt in a private one-acre wild meadow
  • A 20-minute drive from Glastonbury and 40 minutes from Cheddar Gorge
  • Dog-friendly, with a firepit, outdoor seating and no light pollution
One acre of wild meadow all to yourself, not to mention a whole 18-foot yurt with a firepit? If that sounds just dandy, get yourself down to Ashmead Meadow, 20 minutes’ drive away from Glastonbury. With a wild meadow to welcome you in and a set-up which permits children aged two or over and well-behaved dogs, there’s no point in twiddling your thumbs… You won’t have much time for thumb twiddling when you arrive either, considering that there’s an outdoor firepit with cast-iron cooking options such as a Dutch oven and skillet (for cooking outdoors) and a two-ring gas hob (for indoors). Slow down if you wish and spend a bit of time in nature. The firepit is surrounded by seats, benches and a picnic table and the yurt is tucked at the bottom of a gently-sloping wildflower meadow, surrounded by mature hedgerows, herbs and trees. With low light pollution on a high ridge above the Vale of Avalon and the Somerset Levels, starry skies may very well visit. Off-grid, spacious and not to mention attractive, the locally-made ash yurt is cosy at night as it has a woodburner and an efficient solar lighting system. There’s also a private composting toilet. Make yourself a yoga appointment – private sessions can be arranged either in the meadow or the neighbour's yoga barn. Foodwise, Pitney (10 minutes’ drive) has an organic farm shop, a café and a pub serving good food. Additional firewood is available to purchase in the barn, but the owners provide plenty of kindling and logs. The yurt is kitted out with a kingsize bed, duck down duvet, pillows, bedding, towels, kitchen equipment, gas hob, eco cleaning products and (upon request) a double futon.

Liked: What a beautiful peaceful place. There is nothing more tranquil with cooking outside, staring at the stars when in bed. The yurt is beautifully laid out. Surrounded by nature. We couldn't fault it. So we have booked again for November so we can truly appreciate the warmth from the log burner. You want to get back to nature for a relax or reboot this is the place. The local pub just up the hill was welcoming and you must try the local cider.

Disliked: None

Liked: This was an amazing experience for myself and my teenage sons.. The yurt is absolutely stunning with everything you need. Warm and cozy loads of space. Star gazing through the top of the yurt was beautiful at night. We made fires enjoyed the tranquility and so private. We will be booking again!! Highly recommended and the locals at the Kings Head pub were all friendly and welcoming too.

There are shops, pubs and cafés there to settle any hunger pangs. Cheddar Gorge and Caves (40 minutes) will settle any further adventure pangs. The clifftop walk is bound to be splendid, but there are options close by too like Turn Hill and Aller woods (five minutes) or nature reserves like RSPB Ham Wall (15 minutes). What else? The Bere Cider Company (five minutes)? Watersports in Langport (10 minutes)? Historical sites like Muchelney Abbey (10 minutes), The Newt in Somerset (40 minutes), Wells Cathedral (half an hour)? There are wild swimming spots in Langport, Muchelney and Isle of Brewers (20 minutes). The coast and the Quantock Hills are further afield.
